acts of kindness" which soon endeared 

 her to ajl who came in contact with her. 

 She was the kind of person who put her 

 whole heart into what she did. She loved 

 the flowers with which she worked, and 

 the boxes of flowers, as well as the 

 pieces which she designed, carried the 

 message of the tender care and thought 

 which were put into them. The closing 

 of her life brought grief to the entire 

 .neighborhood in which she lived, and the 

 many who knew and loved her felt that 

 she had taken with her some of the fra- 

 grance and sweetness of the flowers with 

 which she worked. 



The Denver florists, assembled in meet- 

 ing, appointed committees to see that 

 suitable decorations were provided from 

 them, also committee on resolutions to 

 be sent to the family. E. S. K. 



Simeon Swindells. 



A pioneer florist of the District of 

 Columbia, Simeon Swindells, died March 



26. He was buried from the Garden 

 Memorial church, Anacostia, March 8. 

 Years ago Mr. Swindells conducted the 

 Columbia Greenhouses, in Georgetown. 

 He was well known all over the country. 

 When Mr. Grady first had the American 

 Beauty rose, before it was named, Mr. 

 Swindells would visit him quite frequent- 

 ly and admire the rose, and Mr. Grady 

 told him he was going to name it Colum- 

 bia. Mr. Swindells suggested Ameri- 

 can Beauty, and it was adopted. He 

 was 59 years old and leaves two sons 

 and a married daughter. O. O. 



Mrs. E. S. Amory. 



Maria E. Amory, widow of E. S. Am- 

 ory and mother of William L. Amory, 

 the florist of 510 North avenue, Brook- 

 land Park, Richmond, Va., died March 



27. Her son has for a number of years 

 been engaged in the florists' business in 

 Barton Heights and Brookland Park. 



TRAGEDY AT CLEVELAND. 



Detectives are searching Dundas woods, 

 near Cleveland, O., for a missing re- 

 volver, upon which may hang a solution 

 of the mystery surrounding the tragic 

 death of Carl Bernthaler, 58 years of 

 ^ge, and Miss Lena Ziechmann, 30 years 

 or age. The bodies, with both hearts 

 pierced by revolver bullets, were found 

 •March 30. The absence of a revolver 

 leads the coroner to declare that the pair

Bernthaler was a music teacher and 

 Miss Ziechmann was his pupil. She and 

 her musicmaster had been acquainted 

 for many years. Her father is the florist 

 at 6528 Quincy street. Each left their 

 home Sunday afternoon. They met in 

 Dundas woods. The coroner believes they 

 came to their death early the same even-

DAHLIA SOCIETY. 



Arrangements have just been com- 

 pleted for the New England Dahlia So- 

 ciety for the first independent dahlia ex- 

 hibition ever given in Boston. It will be 

 at Tremont Temple, September 17, 18 

 and 19, and it is believed that this will 

 be the most important exhibition of this 

 flower ever held. Lorimer and Gilbert 

 halls have been secured, and an orchestra 

 will give music afternoons and evenings. 

 The autumn exhibition of the Massachu- 

 setts Horticultural Society, which comes 

 a week earlier, has classes for dahlias, 

 but it is a general exhibition and the 

 dahlia growers have increased in number 

 so that the Dahlia Society feels confi-
